Questions for Religions

1) Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot he himself couldn't eat it?

2) If God is so powerful, why didn't he create the world in one day instead of six? Why not instantly?

3) Couldn't God have just created the world with evolution included?

4) Why can't God conquer Satan? Hell, I'll answer that myself. If he did conquer Satan, no one would need him, that egotistical guy...=)

Well...send me anwswers to these questions!

If Jesus had a microwave I'm sure he could heat it to uneatable temperatures. As could anyone with a microwave.

1) Stupid question, I am not going to dignify it with a response.
2) In the Bible, it says God does not count time as men do, so 7 days could've been 7 seconds or 700 million years.
3) He did
4) Because He needs some place for non-believers to be seperate from Him.

3-:When Darwin published his ideas on evolution most educated creationists at the time (which included almost any creationist who read origin of species) accepted the idea that evolution did not necessarily contradict the existence of god as wouldn't life be so much more impressive if he planned it to end up as it is yet used only amoeba and a couple prozoans (single celled organisms) as his medium.
+yeah, this contradicts the bible but it's not an autobiography so people could have made stuff up.

Very true, it could have all been made up by someone....who knows for sure. I think that is where faith comes into play. Either you have faith in that the Bible is true and the "word of God" or not. That's the nice thing about faith either you have it or you don't, there is no middle ground to take. Here is something to think about...maybe God created these doubts and arguements just to test our faith. He's been known to do things like that in the past....if you believe in God that is.

My questions

1.)Abortion?
2.)If you're a human, what does that mean about your past life?
3.)If you're a human, does the success of your life depend on a past life?
4.)War?
5.)Reset button on forhead, what's it do?

Question #1 is a parody of the common question, "Can God create a boulder so heavy that even he coudn't lift it?"

It's the same concept, just the words changed to make it sound humorous and/or stupid. If you didn't think it deserved a response, perhaps this form is better suited for serious discussion.

Can Jesus eat any Burrito?
Can Jesus make a Burrito uneatable?

Just rephrase it to can one deny ones own omnipotence?

in gods case (aka)
Could God microwave a burrito so hot he himself couldn't eat it?

So if God could cease to be God could he be God again?
Technically yes if he lives outside of timė So if he makes himself live inside time for all eternity, gives up his godly powers and descends to earth then, using a normal microwave heats a burrito to a ridiculously hot temperature then dies before it cools down then yes he could (though it would mean his own destruction).

And if God can do it I'm sure that he can give Jesus lessons.

Ha. Gotcha therė

1) Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot he himself couldn't eat it?
I do know, i think he like pizza!

2) If God is so powerful, why didn't he create the world in one day instead of six? Why not instantly?
Well i don't like to do thing all at once, i like to take my time!

3) Couldn't God have just created the world with evolution included?
Why not? Bill clinton have 2 wife.

4) Why can't God conquer Satan? Hell, I'll answer that myself. If he did conquer Satan, no one would need him, that egotistical guy...=)
Hmm why do he want to do that? who will do the dirty work? hehe
satan is a good guy! he just like to do wrong thing, because he know it is wrong, and it make him/she feel good about it because it is wrong!

why do we need heaven when we have this earth ? what wrong? is it because you took my bottle of wine without asking? that's stilling? "Well i forgive ur SIN!" What sin? i just took it without permission, and return it for you later when i'm done, maybe!

I will only look at you funny in answer to the first question....if Jesus had all the abilities we are told he had....would he have needed a microwave?

2. I agree. Why not instantly? Maybe God has limitations. Maybe he is a super intelligence that engineered us and he needed seven days to grow the specimens.

3. I think the world kind of was "created" with evolution included...or rather it evolved with further evolution included.

4. How would our spirits evolve if we didn't have both the image of "good" and "evil" in our minds? We need an idea of what is "right" and "wrong" to make decisions in order to grow.

1. If we are dictated to and told what to do on one subject and the government or a group of people get away with it, won't our all choices in our lives (religion, food, sex, ect.,) be governed by others? I would not ever get an abortion personally.... That is the choice that I would make.

2. It means that in a past life I needed to be human in this one to figure out what happened in the past one as a person from Vega, another solar system, another country, another county, or down the block.... Smile I needed this life in order to build on what I already knew in order to "grow" (and here is that word again) Smile evolve.

3. Each life (in my understanding) builds or helps you to graduate (like in school) from one lesson to another, learning and growing.

4. War shouldn't be necessary. I am not sure what to say about war. Honestly. I only know that there is war because we are still animalistic in our humanity.

5. **smiling** Smile

This question typically is there to baffle the "omnipotence" (all-powerful) of God. Which at first glance seems legit, it seems God wouldn't be all powerful if he couldn't make a rock he could lift. Or if he could make it then couldn't lift it. The most accepted answer is that God's omnipotence is bound by logical laws. So God wouldn't be able to make that rock because it logically doesn't make sence.

That is not the "most accepted answer". It is the most repeated answer.

It doesn't actually work. But this is a silly thread, so i'm not going to bother prolonging its life by explaining the details of that here. There have been plenty of other - better - threads where the paradox has been discussed in great detail.

Or make a new one if you want. Either way.

Sorry...shouldn't have assumed it's the "most accepted answer" but it is the only one I can think of that makes logical sence. How does it not actually work? You implying that the logically impossible is in fact possible? Something that defies the laws of logic? The paradox doesn't need explaining, it is quite obvious, but the paradox is based on your definition of 'omnipotence'. If you define it as simply "able to do anything and everything" then yes, there would be a paradox. But if you were to define it as "able to do anything and everything within logical limits" (which makes sense) then omnipotence isn't so illogical.

coeus wrote:

No. i am saying that even if you redefine omnipotence to mean... frankly, "not omnipotence"... that doesn't fix the paradox. Well, i suppose you could argue that it does, but what happens in the process is you create a new problem that's even worse. So really, it doesn't fix anything at all. It turns out that in the end, you were better off not redefining omnipotence and simply admitting that omnipotence is a logical impossibility.

But as i said, i'm not going to go into details here, because i think this silly thread should really just be allowed to die.

Omnipotence is all-powerful as in able to do anything correct? But how could something do something that is not logically possible? It can't, it's not logically possible. Therefore something that is described as omnipotent is something that can do anything logically possible. There actually is no paradox when you really think about it. Unless you are willing to say that something that can do anything, can do the impossible. Which if you want that as part of your defination, then go right ahead, but it doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense, it just gives rise to the paradox.

The definition you are choosing to use does not make sense, unless you are talking about a limited form of omnipotence which isn't really true omnipotence. For example, someone with access to the program code of a game has limited omnipotence with respect to that game - bounded only by the limitations of the hardware the game is running on. But are they truly omnipotent? i think not.

But to repeat myself:

1.) If you really want to commit to that limited definition as the real definition of omnipotence, go ahead. Yes, it does prevent the paradox. No, it does not suddenly make omnipotence sensible. That definition creates a host of new problems. You can't just change the definition, check the paradox, see that it's fixed and conclude you have a complete working solution. You've changed the entire playing field, now you have to make sure that your changes make sense. Follow the logic. You stopped too soon.

2.) No, i will not tell you what the new problems are. Not in this thread, anyway. As i've already said, this is a stupid thread, and i don't intend to see it last any longer than it should. Either start a new thread, or figure it out yourself - your choice.
coeus
We don't need a new thread, I see the issue with our discussion. I think of logic as a box, something you can't logically (ironic..eh?) break out of. Thus when people do to bring up an illogical paradox to "all-powerful" I smack my head and say 'what?'
